Guild Wars 2

With the new story about Evon released, I am thoroughly confused about the Black Lion Trading Company. According to what we knew before: Evon left the Ash legion so that he could use his military knowledge in the world of commerce. He was assisted in founding the company by Sareb, who helped fund the Black Lion with the money she made by selling Zojja the frame for Mr. Sparkles.
But, according to the new story he founded the Black Lion Trading Company on orders from the Ash Legion in order to get a footing in Lion’s Arch.
The one line that screws up every theory I can come up with is: “Tomorrow we establish the Black Lion Trading Company – properly.”
So the idea came from the Ash Legion. How did he manage to leave the Legion and keep the Trading Post? Did he even leave? How does Sareb fit in? With how she acts in the Mr. Sparkles story (I can’t remember the story’s name) I find it very hard to believe she would have funded an Ash Legion Trading Company that was going to intimidate the people of Lion’s Arch. Could someone un-muddy the waters a bit?

It seems like it wasn’t the ash legion’s idea, it was his idea. The ash legion merely stated that they wanted a foothold in LA, and seemingly left the details to the Legionnaire. I would say it’s likely that Sareb didn’t come in until later, while Evon was still laying out the foundations for his trading company, and I wouldn’t put it past Evon to not tell her the whole story. It could be, perhaps, that he is still working under Malice’s orders, but he introduced the story of his dissertion in order to make himself unattached to any large power in the eyes of everyone else.

i could see that happening,uses the BLTC as a cover for spying in La,Sareb doesnt have to know ^^

Evon could also be funneling a portion of his profits towards the Ash Legion (and possibly the entirety of the three High Legions). So anytime you buy from BLTC, you are helping fund the Charr war machine!
